20.11 retrospective
-------------------

(I tried to summarize as best as I can, please free to correct/add when needed)

* What went well
   * Managed to get out this very big release on time
   * Was more precise with dates
   * Expectations on features were more clear in this release
   * Good co-working between maintainers
     * Communication was better, project become more resilient
   * Akhil commented last minute stress was less
   * Major gcc distribution didn't cause disruption this time
   * LTS is doing good job overall
     * Thanks to Luca and Kevin for their work there

* Things to improve
   * next-net is busy, %60+ of the commits coming from next-net,
     would be good to get more help, options to improve
     * Add a co-maintainer in that level
       * Andrew (backup maintainer) is great candidate if he can spare time
         He is already helping on reviews
       * He already covered during release when Ferruh is on holiday
     * Testpmd maintainership is not working fine, find maintainers for it
     * Should we add more vendor trees?
       * Huawei is contributing more, should it have a vendor sub-tree?
         * Huawei is being good citizen mostly
   * CI can be improved
   * Top level Thomas/David may felt the last minute stress more this time
     * Pachwork update by Jerin, to add reviewer column may help
       * This seems not exactly matching patchwork intention of using delegate
         field
         * Need to work on how to upstream this improvement
     * It is causing more problem when expectation is not clear from vendors
   * Security issues
     * They didn't work very well, the busy release is affecting it
       * Good thing is there is a well defined process, needs resource to execute
       * Can help to allocate separate resource for it
         * A technical project manager can do it, doesn't have to be developer

Hi, Ferruh Yigit
   We plan to send the roadmap, but we're not sure what it requires? Is 
it per vendor or per PMD vendor? What should he contain?

Thanks

There is no strict formatting for it, the intention is to document the work 
planned for the coming release, it is sent per vendor mostly. Following are the 
past a few ones you can check as samples:

arm:

Hi,
   Firstly, thank you for your response. As a new PMD developer and 
maintainer, I am  probably understand.
   In addition, I would like to know that if we do not develop and push 
our features in a timely manner according to the roadmap, this will not 
affect you and others, or we develop and push redundant features in the 
roadmap.

Thanks

The note at the beginning of the roadmap page is to answer this :)
https://core.dpdk.org/roadmap/

"This is not a commitment but plan of work."

The roadmap is to announce tasks under development, so enables interested 
parties to collaborate.
Also helps to roughly seize the size of the release and workload, to help planning.

So not able to develop an announced feature is not a problem, but in other way 
around to not announce a feature in the roadmap but try to upstream it may cause 
that feature get less priority.
